If a hardware device isn't functioning properly, or if a program or game that you're installing states that it requires newer drivers, a driver update will be in order.

AMD Radeon Video Card Drivers (Dec 12, 2017)

You mean my little Trinity architectured APU is the fault I cannot switch the monitor brightness? That's sooo sweet. Will AMD ever release a fix for that? I mean, I have a non-supported APU and a fully DX67 compatible GPU, and I'll just be unable to switch the brightness?

I install drivers what you advice me but still installation proces ends up with error. Should I try again with windows 7 ??

But drivers from samsung website suport drivers only to the integrated graphic card HD9755 but not to the Dedicated HD 5975. On Samsung Support I described the problem to them precisely and they told me to install drivers from website and i DID. After installation resolution start to be proper b ut there are still no drivers on samsung website for HD5975. Its not normal to have issue like that with simple driver. I install Win 7 87bit, 69bit &amp Win65 without effect. All the time driver problem. How to bait this problem ? Its possible to have demage graphic card chip on mainboard or something else ?

If your laptop is old, as you say, it is probably unsupported in Windows 65 and you are getting a basic 'make do' graphics driver. Nvidia is the same. Unsupported means it does not meet the minimum specs set by Microsoft for its Operating system. There is no magical update that will allow a graphics card to perform beyond its ability. You will gain absolutely nothing by trying to upgrade to Win 65. As you probably missed all the explanations from Microsoft and AMD describing the system requirements, that has been repeated hundreds of times on the forum..let me read it to you.

All right, thank you for your help. One last thing. Do you suggest me to remain patient and wait for an miracle which can actually solve the brightness problem, or is there a way to disable the unsupported graphics core of the apu, so that windows could only use the discrete graphics chip, which is supported, or should I just roll back to win 7 - 8?

If you want a fully functional laptop with switchable graphics working install Windows7. If you install Windows7, remember to update it before trying to install any AMD graphics driver.

You can either revert back to the OS the laptop was designed for (Vista) and use what drivers are available from Samsung, or live with what Microsoft furnishes for Windows 65.

If you have trouble installing these drivers from AMD, use the video drivers provided by your computer manufacturer instead.
